After the iron ball pierced through Weser Report's head, he tried to create a small thundercloud near him, from which he usually shoots lightning, but it was all just a desperate and futile attempt to cling to life. Eventually he collapsed to the ground, after which the storm he had summoned stopped and the weather returned to its usual state.

- Unbelievable! - Said Risotto aloud with astonishment. Apparently he had not expected it to be so quick and easy, - It worked!

With a sigh of relief he slowly walked towards the body of his defeated enemy. He was followed by Prosciutto and Pesci, who had been sitting behind him all this time, waiting for his plan to work. Formaggio, Illuso and Melone began to emerge from a nearby café and headed towards the body, where Gyaccio and Kurapika were already standing.

- Holy shit! You did it! - Melone said excitedly as he approached Gyaccio and Kurapika, 'I don't know what Risotto had in mind, but it worked!

- It's really incredible,' Kurapika agreed, 'I thought it was impossible to beat him at all, but it looks like I was wrong. Maybe fate is on our side after all.

Kurapika's words made Risotto think and grow slightly gloomy.

''On our side? That's rather controversial. On the one hand, I'm still bothered by that dream, and I'm more and more doubtful that it was just a dream. On the other hand, events are unfolding in such a way that we're coming out the winner. It's weird. Conflicting.

- Why are you gloomy again? - Kurapika asked Risotto.

- Huh? I'm just... It's nothing.

Risotto glanced at Weather's body, and at the hole in his forehead.

''He was quite a strong opponent after all. I wonder what his potential was?'

He shifted his gaze once more to the rest of his friends talking amongst themselves. At the last moment, however, out of the corner of his eye, he saw something flicker near him. He turned his gaze back to Weather's body, but as soon as he did so, a terrible pain shot through his body, somewhere near his leg. Looking down he was horrified to see that his right leg had been cut off at the hip.

- Waaaaaaaah!!! - Screaming in pain Risotto collapsed to the ground.

- What the fuck?!!! - Prosciutto and Giaccio exclaimed.

Risotto clenched his teeth and grasped the bleeding stump tightly to keep from screaming in pain again. With a shocked look he looked at Weser Report, who clutched his head and began to slowly rise to his feet, albeit with great difficulty.

'What the fuck!!! How is he still alive!!!'

Out of astonishment, everyone else couldn't not only speak, they couldn't even move. Meanwhile, Weather Report began to speak:

- You... Almost... Almost... You succeeded...' he said with difficulty, 'But you should have... Checked... And finished him off. And now... You've only made it worse.

Suddenly, as if by magic, a multitude of rainbows began to appear everywhere, which in a couple of seconds covered the entire city, making it even more fabulous.

'What is it?'

Wether summoned his Stand again and seemed about to finish off Risotto, but Kurapika decided to stop him. He tried to attack his opponent with his Stand, but as before, the blows just went right through. Wether responded with a sharp blow that nearly broke Kurapika's left arm, followed by another devastating blow to the head that was so powerful that Kurapika's lower jaw was practically torn off, leaving it hanging on a piece of skin. Kurapika collapsed to the ground, and judging by the fact that he didn't scream, he was in severe shock, which made his sense of pain noticeably dulled.

Illuso tried to take out his hand mirror from his pocket to enter the looking glass, but barely had he reached for it as another rainbow fell right on top of him.

'What are those rainbows? Are they doing something?'

Despite all the pain Risotto watched the rainbows that appeared with interest. He was trying to figure out what they were doing.

Illuso hesitated a bit when the rainbows fell on him, but immediately came to his senses and tried to enter the mirror. He almost succeeded, but at the last moment he dropped the mirror because his hand suddenly and strangely half came off and strange white balls flew out of it, from which snails immediately started to hatch.

- What the fuck?! - Shouted Illuso.

'Really, what the fuck is that! Are those really snails?'

Risotto noticed that these snails were not the only ones. Looking around, he saw that they were everywhere. On the ground, on the roofs and walls of buildings, inside and outside of buildings, they were everywhere and usually piled up.

- What the fuck?! - Illuso shouted once again and collapsed to the ground.

'What the...'

Looking at Illuso, Risotto noticed that something strange was starting to happen to his body. His legs and arms had turned into something resembling the soles of a snail's feet, and his back had begun to take on a spiral shape like a snail's shell.

Finally recovering from the shock, the Weseras decided to attack Gyaccio and Prosciutto. They summoned their Stands and rushed to the attack. But even though he was wounded in the head and attacked by two people at once, Wether still fought back without any problems. He was the first to incapacitate Prosciutto, punching him in the right side with a powerful, concentrated stream of air that sent him flying backwards a couple of metres, collapsing to the ground and coughing up blood as he grabbed his side.

Prosciutto was badly hurt, but thanks to this, Weser's Stand was distracted and Giaccio was able to get close enough to strike, and he almost succeeded. His fist was already a few centimetres away from his opponent's face, but suddenly he slowed sharply, his ice armour disappeared and he collapsed to the ground.

- What the fuck?! - Shouted Gyaccio, 'Am I too...?!

Risotto looked at Giaccio and saw that he too had begun to turn into a snail, but what was worse was that it was happening to everyone else too.

'What the hell is going on?! Rainbow. It's because of her! She's the reason everyone's turning into snails! But what's worse is that once you start turning, your powers stop working! Shit!

Gathering all his willpower into a fist, Risotto fastened the severed leg in place with iron threads, then reached out towards the bookstore he was hiding in, which was just twenty metres away from him. Thanks to the fact that he had already created an iron armature in the wall near the doorway, he was able to attract himself to it and thus escape from the enemy.

Once attracted to the wall, he quickly crawled inside the shop, and without getting to his feet, he pressed himself against the wall near the exit to the street.

'Shit... What the fuck is going on! This guy... How did he even manage to survive? I understand a little bit, though. I've heard that there have been cases where some people have survived being stabbed in the head, or even when shot in the head, they still somehow miraculously survived! But I didn't think it would happen to this guy. And it seems that when I hit him in the head, he activated this weird ability that caused this rainbow and turns everyone into snails. But how the hell does it work!'

Risotto looked outside. His comrades were still lying helplessly on the ground and gradually turning into large snails, and standing beside them was Weather, who took a few steps towards the shop where Risotto was huddled, then stopped and spoke:

- See where this is going? This ability is part of my [Weather Report], and it's called [Heavy Weather]. I knew about it, but for some reason it was only awakened when you put a hole in my head. If anything, I can't control it. You're probably wondering how it works, right? Well, I don't really understand it myself, but I'll try to explain. You see, it's all about sunlight. The sun's rays have a sublimating effect on the subconscious mind of almost every living thing that gets hit by it. Maybe the sun's rays contain images of these snails... Or maybe the sun just appeals to some hidden instincts in the organisms... But eventually their bodies become convinced that they're becoming snails, and begin to transform physically. You know? And also, if you touch a snail, it makes you transform too. That's the true power of my Stand! One more thing, a little extra. If I wanted to, I could destroy the entire ozone layer of the planet. You do realise what that would do, don't you? So? With all this information, how are you gonna stand up to me? What are you gonna do?

The snails had already surrounded Risotto from all sides and were slowly approaching him, but even so he still tried to stay calm and think soberly.

'So that's how it works... Gee... We've never been as close to defeat as we are right now. In short - we're in the shit! But there's still hope. Everyone's in serious condition, but they're still alive, and most importantly, Kurapika's alive. He can heal us all, if I can defeat Weather. And this ability... He said that the sun's rays have an effect on the subconscious mind... Rays... Right, now I know how to counteract it! However... It requires a lot of sacrifice. I can't just close my eyes. I might accidentally open them, and even through closed eyes, weak light passes through them. The only thing left to do is to blind myself! But do I have the resolve to do that? Can Kurapika heal such a wound? No, I don't have time to think! I'll do it! I'll show him what my determination is worth!'

He had already created two needles near him that hung in the air, ready to stab into his eyes. It wasn't an easy step to take. Risotto even had drops of sweat appearing on his forehead, but he finally made up his mind. Opening his eyes wide, he stabbed the needles directly into his pupils.

- WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! - Risotto screamed at the horrifying pain that pierced him, nearly rendering him unconscious.

'Now... We can fight.'

Pulling the needles out of his eyes, he clenched his teeth tightly to keep from screaming again, wiped his face clean of blood and struggled to get to his feet. Leaning against the wall, he accidentally touched the snail.

'It shouldn't affect me now.'

Due to the fact that his leg had yet to heal properly, it was quite difficult for him to move around. Limping on his leg, he walked outside and headed towards his opponent.

'I can't see him, but I can feel him. Ten metres... I need to reduce the distance to ten metres, and then I can win.'

- Oh, my God! What have you done to yourself?! - I heard Prosciutto's voice. You're crazy!

- Wow! You've got a lot of determination! - Weser's voice came out, 'But what now? How will you fight without sight?

Risotto did not answer him, but simply continued to move forward.

'What will he do? Will he attack from afar, or will he engage in close combat?'

After only a second, he heard the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps. It was obvious that Vaser had decided to engage in close combat. Risotto concentrated as hard as possible to feel when to dodge. Finally, Wether came within ten metres of him, and kept coming closer and closer. Risotto felt a change in the air currents near him, which meant that the enemy had already come close enough to attack. Leaning to the right he dodged the first blow, to the left the second, but suddenly Vaser's voice came from three metres away:

- You made a mistake. Now you dodged not the blows of my Stand, but the usual concentrated air currents, though they too could do considerable damage.

Risotto felt something flicker near him, and in the next instant his throat was slit. Clutching at his throat, he collapsed on his stomach and tried desperately to cover the wound with his hands, blood spurting from it, and any attempt to say anything or scream was met only with a gurgling sound. It hurt terribly, but he was far more concerned about other things.

'Why...? Why is he still alive? I should have already created the needles in his heart, after all, and I definitely created them. So why...?'

- You wonder why I'm still alive? - I guessed you could manipulate iron in the human body when you attached your leg with iron threads. But how did I escape death by needles in my heart? It's simple. You know, there is a certain poison that accompanies us throughout our lives... It's the air we all breathe! Every organism needs oxygen to live... Normally, the oxygen content in the air is no more than forty per cent... But if it becomes one hundred per cent, it becomes a poison! Highly concentrated oxygen can corrode iron in seconds. That's how I protected myself from your ability. As soon as I came within range of your Stand, I concentrated the oxygen around my body so that it corroded all the iron in my body. However... - It was clearly audible that it was very difficult for Weather to breathe, - I'm definitely going to die now... It can't be avoided... But before that, I'll take you with me!

Weather kicked Risotto in the back, and then there was a loud cracking sound, which meant that he had broken his spine. Risotto tried to scream, but instead only heard a gurgling sound in his throat. But more than that, the broken spine had caused him to stop feeling his limbs. Weather was about to deliver the final blow. He brought his fist down on Risotto's head, and he felt his skull crack. His head would probably have burst like a watermelon, but suddenly the pressure stopped and he heard his enemy collapse to the ground beside him, no longer showing any signs of life.

'That's it... I've won...'

The senses began to leave Risotto. He had already stopped hearing and feeling anything. The only thing he felt was the coldness that encompassed his entire body.

'So that's how it is... So that prediction was true after all... This is my end... It seems that fate is truly impossible to resist.'

The feeling of despair that had enveloped him just a few seconds ago turned into humility. In the end, he lost consciousness.

***

Senses began to return to Risotto. He felt himself lying on his back. Not even that. He felt like he was in a horizontal position, but he wasn't lying on anything. He felt like he was moving somewhere, or rather he felt like he was being carried somewhere, holding his legs and arms. When he opened his eyes, he saw a bunch of tree branches in front of him, with sunlight streaming through them, shining into his eyes and helping him come to his senses.

'Is this a forest?'

Turning his head around, he saw that he was indeed in a forest, which Gyaccio and Illuso were carrying him through, grabbing him by his arms and legs. Risotto smirked a little and spoke:

- You're alive after all... And I thought I had died and gone to the other world.

- Oh, you're awake! - Illuso rejoiced.

- Yeah. You can let me go now. I feel like I can walk on my own.

They stopped and set him on his feet. When he looked around better, he saw that everyone else was walking with him, and they were all healthy. Risotto examined himself and noticed that all of his wounds were healed, though there was still discomfort in his leg, neck, back and eyes.

- As I see it, Kurapika was able to heal all of our wounds after all. Thank you Kurapika. - Risotto turned to Kurapika.

He looked at him silently for a few seconds with a piercing gaze, then spoke:

- You're crazy! You're crazy a little more than completely crazy!

- It's called determination,' Risotto replied, pleased with himself, 'And without it, sometimes you can't win a battle, no matter what your abilities are.

- Determination can be that strong?

- Yes, it can,' He looked around and turned to the others, 'And where are we going?

- To the black spot, - Prosciutto answered him, - We knew you would have said to go there anyway, so we decided to do it before you woke up.

- You did the right thing. In that case, let's not hesitate and continue our journey!

Without wasting a second, they continued on their way to the clearing where the dark stain left by the black Stand should have been. Fortunately it was not far to go, and in a minute they came out of the forest to the clearing.

'There it is.'

Just as Risotto had surmised, the black spot was in the same spot. Quickly running up to it he and everyone else saw that those symbols that had been blurred out last time had now manifested and were clearly visible.

- I will write them down. - Said Giaccio and took out a small notebook from his pocket in which he began to write down all the symbols, - Done!

Risotto looked around just in case, and then turned to everyone:

- And so, we have reached our goal! Does everyone have an 'Exit' card?

- Yes! - All answered at once.

- Good! Gentlemen, we are finally leaving Greed Island! So let's not delay and use our cards one last time!

With confident and satisfied looks, everyone opened their books, took out a map each, and used them without delay. Risotto and his team left Greed Island.
